Best Phones Under 40,000 BDT (October 2026)

Phones around the 40,000 BDT budget come in very different flavors. One is a Samsung with a polished display, another is built around a clean design, and another is a gaming machine with a huge battery. The right choice depends on what you use your phone for every day.

Here are 5 phones to consider for October 2026. For each one, you get the key specs and the kind of user it suits. Prices in Bangladesh change often and differ between official and imported units. An official unit comes with the brand's local warranty, while an imported unit often has only the seller's warranty. So ask the shop which one you are buying, and confirm the final price fits your 40,000 BDT budget before you pay.

1. Samsung Galaxy A56 5G

The A56 is the pick if you want Samsung's software and a polished AMOLED display, and an official unit comes with a local warranty.

• Display: 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, Full HD+, 120Hz, HDR10+ (Hz is how many times the screen refreshes each second, so higher feels smoother)
• Chipset: Exynos 1580 with 5G
• Cameras: 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro, and a 12MP selfie camera
• Battery: 5000mAh with 45W charging
• Software: Samsung One UI. Check Samsung's current update policy for the exact number of upgrades.

Best for Samsung fans and buyers who want an official warranty. Its battery is on the smaller side compared with the others here.

2. Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G

This is a big-screen phone with a large battery and a strong main camera. Its specs differ by version, so check which one you are being sold.

• Display: 6.83-inch AMOLED, Full HD+, with Gorilla Glass Victus 2
• Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra with 5G
• Cameras: the global version lists a 200MP main camera with an 8MP ultrawide, while the China version lists a 50MP main camera with OIS (optical image stabilization, which reduces blur from shaky hands)
• Battery: about 6580mAh with 45W charging on the global version, and about 7000mAh on the China version
• Extras: IP68/IP69K dust and water resistance is listed on the global version (an IP rating shows how well a phone resists dust and water)

Best for all-round use and long battery life. Do not confuse it with the Redmi Note 15 Pro+, which is a different and more expensive phone with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset.

3. Honor 600 Lite

You get a very bright AMOLED screen in a slim, light body, plus a big battery. It is sold both as an official unit and as an imported unit.

• Display: 6.6-inch AMOLED, 120Hz, with peak brightness listed at 6500 nits
• Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Elite with 5G
• Cameras: 108MP main, 5MP ultrawide, 16MP selfie
• Battery: 6520mAh with 45W charging
• Extras: IP66 dust and water resistance, about 7.3mm thin and 180g, Android 16 with MagicOS 10

Best for people who want a slim phone with a bright screen and a long-lasting battery.

4. Nothing Phone (4a)

This phone stands out with its design and clean software. It is the most unusual pick of the five.

• Display: 6.78-inch AMOLED, 120Hz, up to 4500 nits peak brightness
• Chipset: Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 with 5G
• Cameras: triple rear camera (50MP + 50MP + 8MP) and a 32MP selfie camera
• Battery: about 5,080mAh with 50W charging on the global version (some sources list 5,400mAh for the India version)
• Extras: signature LED lights on the back, IP64 splash resistance, Android 16 with Nothing OS 4.1

Best for people who care about design and a clean interface. IP64 only protects against splashes, so do not treat it as a waterproof phone.

5. iQOO Z10 Turbo

This phone is built for performance and battery life, and it has the biggest battery on this list. It launched in April 2025 and may be sold as an import, so ask about warranty.

• Display: 6.78-inch AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 4400 nits peak brightness
• Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 8400 with 5G
• Cameras: 50MP main with OIS and a 2MP depth sensor
• Battery: 7620mAh silicon-carbon battery with fast charging

Best for gamers and heavy users. The camera setup is basic, so photography is not its strongest side.

Final Thoughts

Pick based on what matters most to you:

• Samsung software and an official warranty: Galaxy A56 5G
• Big battery and a high-resolution camera: Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G
• Slim design and a bright screen: Honor 600 Lite
• Design and clean software: Nothing Phone (4a)
